Fog comes on little cat feet

Monday evening this week brought a wave of fog creeping in from Lake Michigan, tiptoeing across StoneWater Beach, up the bluff and embracing the trees, bushes, and plants of this quiet place.  Slowly yet deliberately the fog kept coming and coming pushing across the Gardens at Waters East, creating a mood of mystery and the unknown.  The whole feeling of the gardens changed in minutes.  Pretty awesome to experience.

At times the sun was completely gone hidden by the heavy and dense fog,  at other times the filtered light added to the drama to the garden.

These pictures are only a few of the more than one hundred photos taken during the hour of this transformation at the shore.

You can almost “feel” the chill in the air as the fog wraps itself around everything in view, including the photographer.  One of the ever-changing expressions of living on this lake.

               The fog

                         comes on little cat feet.

               It sits

                         looking over harbor and city

                         on silent haunches

                         and then moves on.

Then the sun began to set, and the fog moved on.

Here is seen a sunset to the East
